very lovely short, i love how it shocks you with the presence of the city while the beauty and grace of the dancer remains constant.

That's Patricia Blair. How long ago was this made? Now she's the director of the school of Ballet chicago. She's taught me for the past three summers

This piece was beautifully used in a 1988 documentary about President Kennedy, entitled "JFK: In His Own Words", and with quite emotional effect too, I might add. I have the program, I just don't have any to upload to YouTube. If I could, I would!
